"I Love These Books. I just love books. I don't get a lot of grown-up reading done, but when it comes to books my 2-year-old Will wants to read, I'm sitting there right beside him.
A colleague passed on this really wonderful series of stories about a little boy who does fun outdoor stuff--Bur Bur Goes Boating, Throws Out the First Pitch and has a Fishing Adventure--and I've been reading them to Will ever since. The illustrations are super - simple and colorful and painterly and well, you'll have to get a book to see for yourself. And here's something else that's cool about the books: Bur Bur is a bi-racial little boy.
Two moms of of bi-racial kids couldn't find books that showed children of various races playing together so they created them. "Our books are designed to inspire kids to get active and also to reflect the diverse world that they live in," says co-author JoAnne Pastel, the co-founder of Farmer's Hat Productions. This is only the start--there will be more books as well as toys, hats and t-shirts."
Amy Bowllan, The School Library Journal
"My daughter immediately grabbed your Bur Bur and Friends books, and would not put them down."
